Neve Campbell's Awkward Discovery About Prince Harry's Childhood Crush
Neve Campbell, the celebrated actress from the Scream franchise, has shared an amusingly awkward anecdote about her encounter with Prince Harry. During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Campbell revealed that she learned the Duke of Sussex once had a poster of her on his bedroom wall as a child, leaving her to wonder if it was intended as a flirtatious line.
A Chance Meeting at a Birthday Party
The Canadian-born star clarified that their interaction was not a date but occurred at a friend's birthday party. When someone pointed out Prince Harry's presence, Campbell initially asked, "Harry who?" before realizing it was the royal figure. They engaged in a brief conversation where Harry, now 41, disclosed his childhood admiration, mentioning the poster. Campbell found this revelation "a little awkward" and humorously speculated whether it was meant as a pickup tactic. Despite sharing a dance and having a pleasant time, they did not exchange contact information, and the encounter did not lead to further developments.
Subsequent Encounter and Royal Reflections
Campbell and Prince Harry crossed paths again later, where he spoke fondly of his grandmother. It took Campbell a moment to realize he was referring to Queen Elizabeth II, adding to the surreal nature of their interactions. She described Harry as "really lovely" during their chats, highlighting the oddity of discussing such personal royal matters.
Television Appearance and Upcoming Projects
This story emerged during Campbell's guest spot on the 23rd series of The Jonathan Ross Show, which aired on ITV1 and ITVX. The episode also featured Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr, actor Archie Madekwe, and comedian Rob Beckett with his wife Lou. Meanwhile, Campbell continues her iconic role as Sidney Prescott in the Scream franchise, with the seventh installment set for release on February 27. The series, known for its satirical whodunnit plots and references to horror film clichés, remains a staple in the slasher genre, directed originally by Wes Craven.
